Lyme's Complicated: Understanding the Epidemic, Lyme's Symptom Cascade & Healing Hope
Let's clear up some misconceptions about Lyme!
Lyme disease is prevalent across all 50 states and globally, often mimicking other diseases and presenting a wide range of symptoms, making it challenging to diagnose. This discussion highlights the flawed CDC testing methodologies and the various ways Lyme can be transmitted, including tick bites, mosquitoes, bed bugs, lice, organ transplants, and other surprising ways. We talk about Lyme's ability to lie dormant and reactivate under stress, the potential for co-infections, and the challenges faced by sufferers, such as being misdiagnosed or receiving inadequate care from healthcare providers. We hope to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of Lyme disease, its transmission, symptoms, and the importance of being informed and proactive in seeking appropriate treatment.
